Washington Dispatch June i3th.l

Washington Dispatch June i3th.l
The administration has settled the
Alaska seal fisheries question to its
own satisfaction by conceding all
the British government demanded,
and Is now showing a mild surprise
that there should be any growing by
the citizens of the United States.
The reports from British Columbia
are that a large fleet of English yes
sells is en- route to Alaskan waters,
and, as the result OF Secretary Bay
ards diplomacy, they will be able to
do immense damage to the seal fish
cries. But, while the administration
thus comedies that Behriug sea is not
land-locked sea for England, its
position closes the sea to the people
of the United States, except the
Alaska Commercial Company. It is
curious chapter, but the English
men have no reason to be displeased
with 1T In the course taken by the
president it looks as though both the
law of congress aud the treaty had
been igohred, for neither was intend
ed to give foreign vessels privileges
denied to those of the United States.
The law of 1868 provides that the
laws of the United States relating to
customs, commerce, and navigation
be extended over the Alaskan pur
chase as far as they might be ap-
pilcable thereto. In 1870 an act was
passed to prevent the determination
of fur-bearing animals in Alaska. It
IN said that Attorney-G General Gar
land on two separate occasions gave
opinions that the president had
nc power whatever to order the re-
lease of tha captured British sealerz,
and 1t is not presumed that cougrcss
IN passing laws recognizes the right
OF the PRESIDENT To set them aside.
This In precisely what Sir Cleveland
has done in the Alaska seal fisheries
case.

Railroad Speculation.

OregOnida.l
There is reason to believe that Mr..
L. f. Oakes is to be the president of
the Northern Pacific. He has practi
cally done the work of the president
for long time without the presidents
position Or authority, and of late has
made no secret of his WEAKNESS of the
laboriou6 and thankless job. 1t is
believed by those who have good
reason for the belief, that recently he
gave the directors the choice of max
ing him president or of accepting his
resignation, aud that the have chosen
the former, The annual meeting of
the stockholders will be held in Sep
tember, and it is expected that tie
change will be made at that time.
The effect of this anticipated change
will depend largely upon circum-
stances which the public can now
know nothing about. If Mr. Oakes
goes in with the support of Mr..
Wright. his policy Is likely to be Dir.
Nrght's policy, which now controls
property. In that case the position
will be merely executive.
Dut II Mr' OakeS goes IN on al IN
dependent basis, with power to make
policies to suit himself, then we may
expect radical change in the pur-
poses and methods of the Northern
Pacific management. 1t is we'll known
that Mr.. Oakes has not liked the
policy by which the Legitimate inter-
ests Of the road have been subordi-
mated to speculative land scheme at
Puget Sound; that he has protested
against this policy within the councils
of the company, and disclaimed re-
sponsibility for it before the public;
and it is only reasonable to infer that
If placed in actual authority he will
abandon it for more natural ard
Independent course.

More About That University.

just Is We had concluded 10 ease
up a little OIL the public with this
question, while the trustees COM
mittee of appraisement were quietly
examining the list OF lands, and We
were having a few days in which to
correspond with non resident. pros
pectiys donors. the Port Townsend
correspondent of tho P-I. alights
down upon Us with the following:
The university question is not at
present the all absorbing topic that 1t
was few months ago. Since the
college WAS incorporated early last
month no further mention has been
made of the institution
The committee appointed to put
the plans into execution have not
made any public report thus far.
Each member appears to be waiting
for the action of the other Nearly
the entire donation desired was
raised, and the appraisement was to.
have been made after the articles OF
incorporation had been filed, yet no
action of this kind has yet occurred.
4 list of lands donated, as far as
ostsinable, together with all the reli~
able information to be had about
these lands, has been placed in the
haads of the trustees committee, and
the committee is taking plenty Of
time to thoroughly investigate the
whole matter, so that they may report
intelleigently as to the actual value
of the bonus. That committee Is
composed of Hon. j. r. Lewis, Hon.
D. 7. Denny and Rev. Isaac Dillon;
not one of them owns dollars worth
of property in or about Port Town
send, so far as we can learn, and hence
they are thoroughly disinterested
We are giving them all the needed
information to be had, and have
promised them to continue soliciting
donations till they are amply satisfied
that the amount in value pledged has
been made good. Meanwhile we are
moving upon the works of few
wealthy property owners who have
not as yet contributed anything. 1t
seemed that all this might be done
for q time in quiet, but nothing short
OF parading the whole matter upon
the housetop seems to satisfy the
public. If the public demonstration
ceases there seems to be a conclusion
at once that the whole matter is being
allowed to die natural death. Not
SO, however, as will be seen hereafter
Port Townsend cannot afford to let
public interest in the University lag
at least not for ten years to come;
and then it will be time enough to see
what should be done further. If it
must be publicly agitated all the
time. let there be an unlimited use OF
printers ink, and personal effort.
Remember, the great work is scarcely
begun. Port Townsend cannot afford
to have the slightest question arise as
te :he value of her bonus to the Uni
vsrsity being insufficient Let us do
our part fully, as promised; let US
more than do our promised part
and then let us insist on the united
support of the III. e, conference, as
pledged in its unanimous vote locat-
ing here. The stronger the institu~
ton the better for all concerned; SO,
if We should happen to run the bonGs
up to $4,000 or $4,000, let us con-
grxtulate ourselves all the more. The
point of failure and doubt is past, but
let US by no means relax effort on
that account

Political Estimates.

And now comes General Rosser, a
staunch old Democrat into print
again. This time it is politics, not
Sheridan. He says: The democratic
party of the north Is not what the
south wants. 1t IS made up Of the
worst elements OF the north. 1t has
got all anarchisu, nihilism, whiskey-
ism and all the other isms. The
republican party embraces the buSi'
ness men and the energy OF the north,
while our northern ally is made up
of copperheads and those who We're
disloyal. If the republicans nomin-
ate John Sherman it is my opinion
that there viii be some very indie
pendent voting IN the south. [ do
not wish to gay that the south is
goinS over TO the republicans, for l
am not sufficiently posted to say that,
but l think Virginia and North Caro-
lima will go republican" We believe
that Gen. Rosser has a mistaken esti-
mate OF the democracy of the north.
As far as ''isms' are concerned, there
is generous sprinkling of it on both
sides. If anything, the republican
party is afflicted most with ''isms.'
In fact, that is what has done most tc
divide its councils and work its defeat

Senator Voorhees, in Victoria.

A Victoria dispatch of the 9th,
says:
Senator Voorhees, of Indiana arrived
on Saturday and goes to Alaska On
the Oiympian tonight. In the inter
view he stated that it was q mistaken
idea that the American government
would close Behring sea to foreign
vessels. In fact he did not see how
it could legally accomplish it. The
whole trouble was engendered by the
Alaska Commercial company, and
President Cleveland was aware of
this fact. 4 commission would be
appointed to inquire into the fisheries
question. Voorhees, thought the
question would form an issue in the
next presidential campaign and
Blaine's action in the eastern fisheries
dispute might cost him the nOmina-
ton. Without doubt Blaine would
be presidential candidate at the
next election. He thought that Cleve-
land, if nominated, would have an
easy election. The only thing that
would lose the election for Cleveland
was the formation of a third party,
and Voorhees, was alarmed at tie
strength OF Henry George in New
York and also of Dr. McGlynn, who
controlled the Catholic vote. But
there was a probability that at the
last moment of these men throwing
all their strength with the democratic
party

PHILADELPHIA FORGERY.
A Broker Leaves Town With an Indebted
ness of 5000, 900.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 15.-The
startling statement is made that Emil
Schoenberg, partner Of John F. Betz, the
millionaire broker, is forger 70 large
amount. Mr.. Betz makes the declaration
that Schoenbe-g has forged his name and
intends to take such measures as will
lead to that gentleman's unwilling return
to this city Mr.. Betz in relation to the
firm Of Betz & Schoenberg says it never
existed and authorizes a statement in
which he says that when the Germania
Brewery was projected he went into it
as g. stockholGer and Schoenberg took
$4,000 worth of stock. Schoen-
berg did not have this amount
of ready cash end therefore
| borrowed the money from banks in this
/ city, giving as security a variety of
paper which was then thought to be
good, but it has since transpired that the
signatures and Endorsements upon some
of the papers were forgeries. Mr.. Betz' s
name Was used upon some Of it, both as
treasurer Of the Brewing Company and
as individual indorser Of notes. The
name of S X. hester, the Geneva, New
York, malster, also appeared on some CT
the paper without effort or consent OF
his. The forgeries came to light before
Mr.. Schoenberg took himself out OF the
wsy, and to extricate himself from the
corner in which he found himself he
transferred a portion Of his brewery
stock to Mr.. Betz as collateral 10 protect
fraudulent papers. II now tran
spires that there were many more
victims, and that Schoenberg':
Indebtedness will be $500, 600
Geuling, of New York, and David W
Stewart aud E. P. Poulterer are among
the victims. Schoenberg was l.st seer
in Chicago. Betz is out 100000 and il
liable for SO, 900 more. Betz's partner
hester, is out $50, 200, Stewart SIS, 600
Poulterer $1,000, and s number of other
are outless amounts. The margin be
E tween Schoenberg's assets and torgerie
will be about $4,000.
